What Alex DeBrincat is doing for the Red Wings right now should scare the NHL

Alex DeBrincat is playing at another level in 2025-26. It's not showing up in goals scored. But for the Detroit Red Wings, that's okay.

Teams have held Alex DeBrincat without a goal across the first four games of the 2025-26 season. But you know what? That's fine, because the Detroit Red Wings winger, despite taking 15 shots on goal so far, is leading the team with six points, and they're all assists.

For the NHL, this should be terrifying because if you can shut DeBrincat out, then he's going to find another way to hurt you.
